Quotes 

• Pop Chaney : You see, there are things a man ought never do -- spit in church, scratch his self in front of his ma, and pick his nose. Yes, that's what my pa learned me and it stood me in good stead.

  Mace Bishop : I don't imagine your pa ever mentioned shooting people, and burning their house down, and stealing, and things like that?

  Pop Chaney : Well, I'm talking about mannerly things, Mr. Bishop. I ain't talking about making a living.

• Pop Chaney : Pretty woman ain't good for nothin' but smellin' sweet and layin' around the house.

• Mace Bishop : [Mace has been trying to convince Dee to go straight and start a ranch with him in Montana. Dee has just said that money will be needed]  I think I know where I can get my hands on some.

  Pop Chaney : Awaah... your brother won't never make it. There's only one way for him, for me, for any of us.

  Mace Bishop : What way is that Mr. Chaney?

  Pop Chaney : [Waving his gun]  This way. The way we know, the way we growed.

  Mace Bishop : Well now that may be so for you, but for my brother it's different.

  Pop Chaney : I don't care if he is your brother the son of a bitch... .

  Mace Bishop : [Kicks the chair out from under Chaney, draws his revolver and points it at Chaney]  Now... before you apologize, I'm going to tell you something Mr. Chaney. My brother and I are the sons of an honest dirt farmer. A man that slaved all his life from sunup to sundown and never took time except to deliver his own children and go to meetin' on Sunday. A man who died of old age at 45 and who never saw more than $10.00 at one time in his whole life. And we're the sons of a woman that married him for his goodness because she was good. And now you can apologize for slandering my family, Mr. Chaney or I'll blow your head off.

  Pop Chaney : [Grins derisively at Mace, nobody else is laughing and Maria looks horrified]  Awaah you ain't no killer, ain't got the stomach for it.

  Mace Bishop : [Cocks the gun and screams...]  Apologize!

  Pop Chaney : I'm sorry Mr. Bishop. I didn't mean no harm.

  Mace Bishop : I'm going outside, Dee, I'd appreciate it if you'd see I don't get shot in the back.
